Following
withdrawal of the request for consultations, Security Council meeting
scheduled for 4pm will not proceed #OzPrez #UNSC— Gary Quinlan
(@AustraliaUN) September 10, 2013 Russia has apparently withdrawn its

Calling
for "a strong international response," which is not exactly a call for
military action. "Obama team: 24 nations back U.S. on Syria," by David
Jackson for USA TODAY, September 9: The Obama administration says two
dozen nations back its call for a "strong international response" to
chemical weapons in...

No
one will take much note of this. People expect it, even as they mouth
the fashionable moral equivalence arguments. If this were a Christian
group forcing a Muslim city into lockdown, it would be international
front-page news; but this story, on the other hand, is just one of a...

Obama
continues to act as if he has already made his case that Assad used
chemical weapons. He hasn't even actually begun. "Intercepts caught
Assad rejecting requests to use chemical weapons, German paper says," by
Matthew Schofield for McClatchy, September 10: BERLIN — Syrian
President Bashar Assad has repeatedly rejected...

Of
course. Any time an Islamic supremacist like Erdogan doesn't get his
way, it must be because of "Islamophobia." "Erdogan says Istanbul
rejection as 2020 host was unfair," from Reuters, September 9: ANKARA:
The choice of Tokyo instead of Istanbul to host the 2020 Olympic Games
was unfair and meant...

And
why not? Nothing is done at Guantanamo to make them change their views
on anything. Guards handle the Qur'an with gloves to avoid offending the
Muslims who believe that infidels are too unclean to touch it. The
puzzle here is why the percentage is so low. "More Former Guantanamo...

But
if Obama gets his way, we'll be stopping the Syrian troops soon and
letting the jihadis do whatever they want with the Christians. "Syrian
troops launch offensive to retake rebel-held Christian village,
activists say," from the Associated Press, September 9: BEIRUT — Syrian

Why
did this little girl die? Because of something that is sanctioned by
Islamic law. But to oppose this practice and say it should be stopped is
"un-Islamic." So more girls will die. Better dead than "Islamophobic."
Few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the
permissibility of...

Now
that the attacks on Egypt’s Christian churches have subsided, stage two
of the jihad — profiting from the fear and terror caused by stage one —
